Farmers Market is not just good food but family fun!

When we go to our local farmer's market, we not only expect to get good, locally grown organic food but good value too. We found even more at the Leucadia/Encinitas Farmers' Market - entertainment (local acoustical guitar artists) and people truly interested in putting out quality prepared products and foods as well. One such individual is Pete Katolick of Pete's Cakes and sauces. Pete has a passion about the fruit toppings he prepares with only the best quality berries and all natural ingredients - he'll happily give you samples of his toppings to prove they have superior flavor and taste - Pete sold me!

What else did I happen upon? Fabulous cheeses (I bought a goat jack cheese and a Greek sheep cheese), wonderful smoked albacore tuna, and freshly picked passion fruit to name a few of the local delicacies that made it home with me. Find the local Farmer's Market near you and enjoy the bounty your local community has to offer!

Hyaluronic Acid has been helping customer relieve his arthritis pain

Since Mike H. let us know the Hyaluronic Acid has been helping relieve his joint range of motion in his hands, I have been wondering if anyone else has been having great benefits to this often not heard about supplement?

Hyaluronic Acid maintains the lubrication of joints and allows them to preserve water for other tissues. By retaining an adequate amount of water, our joints are less likely to turn out to be fragile and weak. HA also aids in the restoration of skin by maintaining its elastin and collagen, encouraging a healthy appearance (look younger AND feel younger!).

Some of the best advice I get is from our customers,friends and family...and what better way to connect then through the EdibleNature Today Blog? So please let us know (customerservice@ediblenature.com) if Hyaluronic Acid (or any other supplements, vitamins, minerals, herbal remedies or homeopathic remedies) have helped you in your quest for optimum health.

Anti-Wrinkle Scams

Dozens of bogus blogs peddle "free" trials of "anti-wrinkle" dietary supplements that contain acai berry or resveratrol, even though there's no proof that either can banish wrinkles. Acai is a proven antioxidant which helps your overall health but doesn't necessarily target wrinkles.

Worse, the supplements are typically sold by companies that have received "F" grades for reliability from the better business Bureau. Thousands of consumers who signed up for "free" trials of products from these companies have found themselves trapped into recurrent, exorbitant credit card charges that are difficult to stop (as reported in Nutrition Action Newsletter-August 2009). Sounds like a familiar story you might have heard before with the acai berry scams.

If you want to buy quality wrinkle treatments (even Acai) from a reputable company and not be badgered after doing so, try EdibleNature.com (serving thousands of satisfied customers since 2001).

Marinate Grilled Fare—For Taste and Safety

The grilling season is at its peak now. Many of us who are fans of grilling are aware that cancer-causing substances -- heterocyclic aromatic amines (HAAs or HCAs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) -- form when the proteins in red meat, pork, poultry and fish react to the high heat of grilling and when fat drips off the meat and produces smoke.

Chemists at Kansas State University found that marinating meat for an hour in spice blends can reduce the formation of HCAs by 80 percent or more. They credit the antioxidant properties of spices with this change. Other researchers suggest that marinades may buffer the heat that causes the problematic chemical reaction, or that a combination of sugar, oil, and acidic ingredients decrease the carcinogenic compounds. Simply Organic® offers a flavor-rich line of organic marinades that includes Zesty Herb Marinade Mix (item #18955), Lemon Pepper Marinade Mix (item #18967), Steak Marinade Mix (item #18953), and Garlic and Herb Marinade Mix (item #18968). Or add the smoky flavor of mesquite with Mesquite BBQ Marinade Mix (item #18954). Bonus: There’s a selection of convenient shake-on grilling seasonings for chicken, seafood, steak and vegetables, too, also made with only organic ingredients.
